《黑龙引》以关东州的历史作为出发点,将现实的历史巧合用虚妄的想象连接起来。天皇的肖像,奇怪的巨鱼头骨,变成老虎的鲨鱼,零碎的的信息被连接起来变成了一组奇幻的关东州的史诗。一条幻化成鲇鱼的黑龙预兆着历史奇幻的走向。伊藤的遇刺、尼古拉二世政权的覆灭、东京大地震,井上圆了的猝死,这一幕幕都有着这条象征雷神的黑龙所留下的线索。
Using the history of the Kwantung Leased Territory as a background (actual historical events) the artist adds on his vivid imagination to thread the narrative. A portrait of the Japanese emperor, an enormous fish head skull, and a shark morphed into a tiger… bits and pieces of information being linked together develop into a fantastical epic about this former colonial territory. The Black Dragon turns into a gigantic catfish an omen that history was taking a mystical turn. The assassination of Itō Hirobumi , the collapse of Nikolai II’s regime, the Great Kantō earthquake (1923), and the sudden death of Inoue Enryō , all these incidents symbolize the clues that the black dragon left behind.
